GIRLGUIDING IN GODMANCHESTER
"A great way for young girls and women to have fun.

Rainbows Rainbows are a group of girls aged 5-7-years-old, the youngest in
Girlguiding UK. Rainbows meet weekly and take part in all sorts of activities
in and out of doors - exploring, sharing and discovering. They have their
own adventures and also learn to be kind and helpful to others. Rainbows
play games, paint, draw and make things. They enjoy listening to stories
and singing songs. At each meeting there is time for Rainbows to share
their news with others. Godmanchester has three Rainbow Units:1st Godmanchester,
2nd Godmanchester & 3rd Godmanchester

Brownies Being a Brownie is all about having a great time and loads of fun!
You've just got to be a girl aged seven or over. A Brownie Pack meets
most weeks. The Pack is made up of small groups called Sixes. Meetings
are full of activities and include suggestions from the Brownies themselves.
There are opportunities for them to learn new and practical skills and
by taking part in games they discover how to be part of a team. Brownies
can earn badges for doing their best to meet special Challenges. They
can also work for a wide range of interest badges. There may also be special
activities and events at the weekend or during school holidays. The highlight
of the year is often the Brownie holiday or camp. Godmanchester has three
Brownie Packs: 1st
Godmanchester, 2nd Godmanchester and 3rd Godmanchester

Guides Guides are usually aged between ten and fourteen. Being a Guide is
all about belonging to a group, learning new skills, making new friends
and helping others. Each Guide is encouraged to achieve her own personal
goals through a progressive programme with the opportunity to work for
a wide variety of badges. This allows the girl to mature and develop at
her own pace. Guides work together in Patrols, groups of four to eight
girls, providing a ready-made group of friends and helping the girls to
feel that they belong to something special. They elect their own leader.
A Patrol plans its own activities with the support of the Guide Guider
so that each Guide learns to share in decisions that affect herself and
others in the Patrol. Godmanchester has one Guide Unit: 1st Godmanchester

Rangers Rangers is one of the many choices for Senior Section members. Although
you're still part of a uniformed group within Girlguiding UK, things couldn't
be more different!. In Rangers the emphasis is on doing what you want,
when you want and how you want! In addition to doing lots of stuff with
your Ranger group, you can also join other groups within Guiding and outside,
such as Duke of Edinburgh's Award groups and Queen's Guides. If you fancy
helping out in a unit or even leading one, there's loads of opportunities
open to Rangers. As members of the Senior Section you may also have the
opportunity to represent the Association around the world at conferences,
exhibitions, camps and on service projects. There is one Senior Section
/ Ranger Unit: 1st Godmanchester
